In FES and FEJ there are visible deletions including bars 32-33. It is undoubtedly Chopin proposal of shortening and facilitating the Etude by eliminating the most difficult, virtuoso fragments. In FES there is also a B quaver at the beginning of bar 34, allowing for a smooth combination of bars 31 and 34. The note is absent in FEJ, although slightly later there is a difficult to decipher entry, perhaps related to the discussed abbreviation. The next, longer abbreviation – see bars 36-40. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEJ |

In this case, however, it is also the continuation that was deleted, until the end of bar 53 – see the note to bars 41-54. The abbreviation – certainly performed by Chopin – was probably supposed to enable less pianistically proficient pupils an amateur performance of the Etude. The fingering written in FES in bar 39, hence in the deleted bar, was probably written at another occasion (e.g. rewritten from another copy including Chopin indications. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEJ |
